10 Gym Bags for Women That Won't Make You Look Like a Student

It's no fun kicking butt in a morning workout only to show up at the office looking like you’re ready for the first day of school. Stash your stuff in one of these cute bags instead — no one will know there's a heap of sweaty gear inside.

This chic black-and-grey backpack blends well with any outfit, and the convertible straps let you wear it in whatever way works best for you. Inside you'll find interior pockets for smaller items, while the bottom zip compartment adds extra space to store your shoes.

Be prepared for tons of compliments as soon as people see the floral design on this cute gym bag. It doesn't hurt that it's also small enough to easily store in a locker, only weighs about a pound, and has an open side pocket that perfectly fits a water bottle.

Sometimes, you just need your gym bag to express how you really feel. It's a bonus that this one also has side pockets for extra storage, not to mention a slot to thread your ear buds so you can listen to your favorite pump-up tunes on the go.

This cute gym bag has a heftier price tag, but that's because it has everything you could ever want: An outside media pocket for quick phone access, stowable yoga straps to carry a mat, and an interior zippered pocket that keeps sweaty gear separate from your stank-free stuff. There's also a heat-resistant pocket for still-hot hair tools (genius), and an extra padded pocket for toting a laptop.

If you want a gym bag that could easily pass as your purse, this is it. Made of water-repellent perforated neoprene (which gives it that classic sporty look), it has a large interior, two removable pouches, and magnetic snaps that make it easy to access your things.

First of all, the hunter green color of this bag is to die for, and the detachable cross-body strap means you can carry it multiple ways. But that's not all: The sides snap up when you need extra room, and there's a stretch key leash to help avoid the horrifying realization that yours are buried at the bottom of the bag.
